All-New Toyota Hilux Workhorse Unveiled with Multiple Powertrain Options
As anticipated, Toyota Motor Corporation has introduced the latest generation of the Hilux, set to debut as a 2026 model. The eighth generation has been in production since 2015, making the arrival of the ninth generation a significant update in the pickup market.
Multiple Powertrain Choices
Known for its durable reputation, the new Hilux continues this legacy with a variety of powertrain options. Reflecting Toyota's multi-path electrification strategy, the lineup now includes:
- A battery electric vehicle (BEV) version
- A hydrogen fuel cell electric variant
- Traditional internal combustion engine (ICE) models with gasoline and diesel engines
- Hybrid 48V options
"Aligning with Toyota's multipath philosophy, the legendary pickup joins the electrification age to include the first battery electric model and a hydrogen fuel cell electric version."
Updated Exterior Design
The design theme “Tough and Agile” guides the new Hilux’s exterior. The BEV model omits the classic grille in favor of a smoother front, paired with unique alloy wheels to distinguish it from other variants.
All models feature slim headlights connected by a central bar displaying the full “Toyota” name instead of just the logo. Additional design improvements include:
- A newly designed rear deck step for easier bed access
- A revamped sidestep for enhanced usability
Summary
The 2026 Toyota Hilux brings robust versatility with various drivetrains, combining tradition and innovation while emphasizing functional, strong design and accessibility features.
